Housing in Nubra Valley traditionally consists of large, multi-story structures made of sun-dried mud bricks, stone, and timber. These houses feature flat roofs (used for drying apricots and fodder) and thick walls designed to retain heat during the bitter winters and keep interiors cool during summer. Many traditional homes have a winter room on the lower level, which houses the kitchen and a central stove, and summer rooms on upper levels.
In recent years, the influx of tourism has altered the housing landscape. Many traditional homes have been converted into or expanded to include homestays and guesthouses. In villages like Hunder and Diskit, there has been a surge in the construction of modern, concrete hotels and luxury tented camps that cater exclusively to summer tourists.
